Fake food: the tech companies working to revolutionise how we eat protein. Ethan Brown likes the taste and texture of meat.

He just doesn't like the morals of it. Until now, that left him with the choice of eating an animal and feeling guilty, or going vegetarian and missing out on the juicy taste of grilled chicken. Fungi-based substitutes such as Quorn don't tend to cut it with those who miss real meat. But Brown, a former clean-energy executive, belongs to a new generation of tech entrepreneurs who are taking a new approach to protein. "Look at the impact of meat on the climate", he says. Today's mass production of meat poses an acute threat to the environment. Eggs, too, are part of this global circle of rising demand, factory farming, animal cruelty and environmental damage.

Effective Altruism: Arguments For and Against – Social Good Stuff. 5 Unbelievable Things That Would Happen If Everyone Stopped Eating Meat - I nourish gently. Hint: cows would not take over the world.

About two weeks ago I posted an article on the 7 Things You Didn’t Know Will Happen When You Stop Eating Meat, which was a piece focused on what would happen with an individual’s health, wellbeing and lifestyle when they quit meat for good. Indeed it revealed some pretty astonishing truths about changing how your genes work and giving your gut bacteria a complete makeover!
A vegetarian world would be healthier, cooler and richer: scientists. In Praise of Lab-Grown Meat. Lab-grown meat now seems inevitable, although it is still hard to predict exactly how long it will take to become a popular consumer item.

Here is a quick overview of what this is, and its potential to improve our food supply. Lab grown meat involves taking muscle stem cells from animals, like pigs, chickens, or cows, and then growing them, well, in a lab.

<em>$2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America</em>
Book Review By Debra Watson 15 March 2016 In early 2011, roughly 1.5 million US households and more than 3 million children in the US were living on less than $2.00 per day per person.

In just 15 years, since President Bill Clinton’s notorious welfare “reform” of 1996, the number of households living at such a severe state of deprivation had doubled. Kathryn Edin and H. Luke Shaefer’s book, $2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2015) , focuses on the situation of those living in extreme poverty in the United States. Two dollars a day is the figure the World Bank uses to designate absolute poverty, including in countries with median incomes far below the US per capita.

Bicycle Helmets. I received the following question in the topic suggestions page: I recently got into a debate about the efficacy of bicycle helmets and — as someone who wears a helmet religiously and credits one with once saving me from serious injury — I was amazed to find that the research into this subject is… well, I’m not sure if “messy” or “inconclusive” is the right word: insight you could provide into this would be much appreciated.

As with many things, the question is more complex than it may at first appear. It might seem at first that the question is straight-forward – do bicycle helmets work? But what exactly is meant by this? Most people might assume that this means – if you are riding a bicycle and get into an accident, will the helmet reduce the severity of the resulting head injury? We could, however, ask several other reasonable questions related to using a bicycle helmet:
Climate Change and Development in Three Charts. The story of climate change and development can be told in three simple pie charts: Developing countries are hurt most by climate change (chart #1).

Open Borders: The Case. Escaping the Refugee Crisis by Peter Singer. PRINCETON – In July, the number of migrants reaching the borders of the European Union passed 100,000 – the third consecutive month in which a new record was set.

In one week in August, 21,000 migrants arrived in Greece. Tourists complained that the summer holiday they had planned on a Greek island was now in the midst of a refugee camp. Of course, the refugee crisis has far more serious implications.
